Bailey Bass (born June 18, 2003) is an American actress. She is known for her roles as Tsireya, a free diver, in Avatar: The Way of Water and Claudia in the television series Interview with the Vampire (both 2022).

Bass was born in Nashville, Tennessee to an American father and a Belarusian mother, but grew up in a "predominantly Russian neighborhood" in Brooklyn, New York.

Bass's first acting role was a My Little Pony commercial when she was 5 and a half. In 2011 she appeared in a Purell commercial alongside actress Malina Weissman. In 2014 she appeared in the movie Moon and Sun. She starred in the BET original movie A Jenkins Family Christmas (2021), and another TV movie Psycho Sweet 16 (2022).

In 2017, Bass was cast as Tsireya, a young Na'vi girl who is a free diver from the Metkayina Clan, in James Cameron'sAvatar sequels. Early on, Tsireya was described as "the young Neytiri of the ocean", likely in reference to both their statuses as daughters of their respective clans' leaders.
